This worries me 10x more than token fads 'spamming' Bitcoin.

Bitcoin vs global liquidity:

Saylor said they’re a bitcoin development company now. Has he donated a single sat to bitcoin development? Oh and I’d love to buy coffee down the street with bitcoin someday. That would mean the end of fiat which is the point, not all this fiat-bitcoin collateral loan bullshit.

MSTR is a shitcoin with rug risk from the government he bends the knee to.

The quality of your days depends on the quality of your thoughts.

It seems that this is a Universal Law.

I’ve been reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and I’ve just started the book of Napoleon Hill - Think and Grow Rich.

Both books talk about how it is important to control your thoughts.

Could you tell to anyone what are you thinking right now (honestly) without feeling shame?

One thing I really like about technology is that in the long arc of time it isn't politicized. It just *is*.

In the emergent stage it's often politicized. But then eventually it just wins.

Electricity was a topic of political opinions until it wasn't. Same for cars. Same for Bitcoin. Same for everything that changes things in a big way.

Politics are powerful, but they are local and temporary. Technology is global and permanent. It either works and spreads, or it doesn't and fades.

RIP Alexei Navalny.

The US/UK should free Assange, free Ulbricht, pardon Snowden, and double-down on freedom as a contrast. They won't, but they should.

Russia is way more politically controlled and censored than their western counterparts, but if the western counterparts were smart they would emphasize this fact rather than lean more into being even half-like Russia.

Kudos to builders of various freedom tech.

I know ink has been spilled on this topic ad nauseum, by writers more knowledgeable and eloquent. But something really clicked into place for me this week, and I wanted to share.

Humanity was trapped in an endless cycle of states rising and falling. The 'good times creates weak men' meme.

States are incentivised to grow their power in order to justify their existence, because each state is nothing if not a collection of people who are self-interested. But that power must be granted by the populace.

Governments are literally incentivised to break societal bonds, to sap our strength and will, -to make us weak- so that we are inclined to grant them ever more power. If the average person took maximum responsibility for their own life, family, and community, what space is there left for a government to step in and LARP like they're solving problems?

We've been driven to this abhorrent softness over the course of generations, because this is what happens every cycle, in every land, with every people. Because we're flawed, and fearful, and imperfect.

But now we have Bitcoin, and Nostr... And I think these two things will give us enough space to break that cycle and realize our potential long term.

If you have young kids - take a look at them. When we are all gone and they are spending time with their grandchildren, the world will be a blindingly bright place.

Revolution has never been meant to free the masses but just to transfer power.

I think probably 95% of ppl will use CBDCs. They simply don’t give a fuck.

This is such a win for Moscow. I thought Bitcoiners were all about seeing 2nd and 3rd effects and not just believe what you get served. Especiallly when it comes to Putin. He is a cumpulsive liar. If you don't think many people found it compelling to listen to Hitler in 1939, you better check yourself before you wreck youself
